"The whirling shapes of color boarder on the abstract but remain grounded in the experience of being in nature and taking the time to look in unconventional ways."

"It is my hope that others seeing my paintings can focus their attention outward and become moved by the expansive beauty of both the natural environment and the painted surface."

"An economy of color, lines and splotches characterize Richard Kooyman's paintings. His loose compositions evoke garden scenes and floral still lifes. . . . their effectiveness typically does not rely on an illusion of three-dimensional space; instead, their surface textures keep the eye active on- and interested in-the thickly applied paint."
